Barista Writes Flirty Message On Side Of Girl’s Cup, Girl Is Flattered, Internet Is OUTRAGED

When 19-year-old and absolute dime piece Laura Roberts (click here for proof), grabbed some coffee at the Starbucks near her London home, the barista left her a flirty message on the side of the cup. He crossed out some of the words on the “Careful, the beverage you’re about to enjoy is extremely hot” warning label so it read “Careful, you’re extremely hot.”

Roberts was flattered, so she sent it to her mother. But mama didn’t think it was so clever. She uploaded it to the Facebook group Shit London, where it received an onslaught of OUTRAGE.

When it comes to baristas putting the moves on customers, it’s all about context. Writing this message? A-okay. Writing this message then sucking latte foam off your finger while rubbing your nipple when she makes eye contact? Less okay.

This story doesn’t even fucking matter. At least, it shouldn’t. But in today’s world, this poor guy now faces the very real possibility of being fired and publicly shamed as a sexual deviant.

It’s harassment because he didn’t fill out Flirting Permission Form 39-W and get her signature along with a stamp from a notary, file it with Starbucks’ Chief Gender Equity Compliance Officer and wait 3-5 business days to recieve his provisional flIrving permit. This asshole needs to check his privilege and watch his microaggressions.

People getting unnecessarily offended over trivial shit like this no longer upsets me. I can’t even laugh at these people anymore because it’s like hearing the same joke over and over again. Stories like this have become so commonplace and ubiquitous that I’m becoming numb to them.
